This is a lesson and color chart of HTML 2nd lower half of page (in web page language)

Once you learn basic HTML (there are free tutorials on the web)
HTML = abrv for "hyper text markup language"
AND, this color chart (below) has WebTV colors, which are the same for the NEW FLAT SCREEN MONITORS (I have been readjusting my web pages for that standard, previously I was geared to the Old CRT Monitor which came with my Dell

This is my OLD but still very good color chart, I made it when I was originally making web pages on WebTV and was also viewing thru a computer with different ISP, and the colors looked DIFFERENT, depending upon if I was using WebTV or a computer. I also have a NEW COLOR CHART , but study this page first, so you can learn what you are doing with the "HEX (base 16) color system"; INCLUDING a section on SHADING (far below) and a section on base 16 to base 255 conversion at bottom of this page (to convert Hex to MS Paint, etc)

COLOR CHART
This color chart shows what color code looks like. But WAIT, they look different on an older CRT, than they do on a new Flat Screen (Flat Screen is same as WebTV or TV screen). So I have listed what they look like on an older CRT and on a Flat Screen or WebTV. I first started learning HTML on WebTV. You can see for yourself, you have to go with a Pink on Flat Screen or WebTV to get Violet Purple on a older CRT (I am hetero and like Purple), is this a Gay Conspiracy? (to each their own, what you do is your own business, but I would like to see the COLORS STANDARDIZED, so I can have PURPLE without PINK, and being an artist, I like a rainbow of colors, but I am Straight, I like girls, I have had gay friends (I just don't have sex with them), I don't want to seem homophobic (but stand accused). It pays to advertize, I dont want people to get the wrong impression, some straights will wear a pink shirt, I am less likely to use pink (dont want to confuse the issue), I like purple, and I like girls.
Note: if only one color is shown, that is what it looks like on a CRT
KEY # on old CRT / # on Flat Screen or WebTV

NOW, in this section, this Number Code is different from the Artists Color Wheel. This is the Computer Industry view of color (which is flawed, as the the 3 basic colors used, are not evenly ballanced, thus its hard to get a good Orange).

This is the Industry Standard, base 16
You are familiar with Base 10: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, carries over to the next digit 10, then 11, 12, etc.
Base 16 might be new to you
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F (after F, it carries over to the next digit)
The lowest ammount is 00, the next is 01, then 02.... 08, 09, 0A, 0B, 0C, 0D, 0E, 0F, carries over to 10, 11, 12, etc higher is 11, then 22, etc after 99 we can jump to AA, then BB, CC, DD
The LEFT of the 2 digits is the degree of color, the right digit is Fine Tuning it. The HIGHEST you can go is FF.

OF 6 Alpha Numeric Characters:
The first 2 are degrees of RED
the next 2 are degrees of GREEN
the next 2 are degrees of BLUE


Thus FF0000 is RED
and 00ff00 is Green
and 0000ff is Blue
000000 is black (no colors)
ffffff is white (all colors)
dddddd is gray
And by the way FFFF00 is Yellow
FFFFaa is pastel yellow

0 thru 7 do not make much difference on an old CRT (not noticeable)
8 thru F make a much greater difference.

Colors look differnt on an older CRT and a newer Flat Screen (same as Web TV)
